A good side should be able to win on merit.
So well done wales, but some shoddy moves.
Rugby is a phisical game, pure and simple. If you can out muscle your opponant by forcing him back in the tackle thats what the best and strongest players do, yes it is a bit brutal but at that level in such an important game every player (including the english) goes in to the tackle as hard as they can, it just so happened that on saturday wales were harder, and in my book that deserves merit and the win.
